I've had a digital timer, since from when they became first available. The
first was a small Radio Shack one. Not intended for kitchen use, but it had a keypad where one could directly enter the time. I've never used one where I have to rotate up the time. I've always had a keypad. I would have thought that adding some more buttons wouldn't be that expensive. Steam from nearby pans did that one in. And now digital timers are so cheap that I have three in the kitchen, preset to the different times that I use. This one is on a shelf alongside the microwave, set to three minutes for tea: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004S0SO9M Then two of these are attached to the exhaust hood (sans strings): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004S4U7 One set to 30 minutes, the time for my Actifry -- the *best* for roasting root vegetables -- and the time I give the leg of lamb at 450F at the start of its cooking (in a convection oven). This timer I pull off and take with me. The other for steamed vegetables, which does vary sometimes, depending on how much I'm steaming. Or I leave it at a longer time, and just stop early. Do others have multiple timers with preset times? And does anyone like the ones you have to rotate to the time? Don. www.BigSpud.com (e-mail link at home page bottom). |
